  abstract = {{T}his review gives an update of current knowledge on the clinical pleiomorphism of {L}eishmania, with a special emphasis on the case of asymptomatic carriage. {T}he first part describes the numerous unusual expressions of the disease that occur besides the classic ( visceral, cutaneous, and mucocutaneous) forms of leishmaniases. {T}he second part deals with progress in the understanding of disease outcome in humans, and the possible future approaches to improve our knowledge in the field. {T}he third part highlights the role of the too often neglected asymptomatic carrier compartment. {T}his group could be key to understanding infraspecific differences in virulence and pathogenicity of the parasite, as well as identifying the genetic determinants involved in the expression of the disease.},
